Meet the Authors
Ha ha embarrassing itâs been almost 4 years of kbandtrash and I donât think weâve ever done this
General introduction? We just like writing lol. Everything we write is pretty clean (no smut, kissing is the farthest we go like not even making out usually, we donât even use curse words lol) so generally this should be a pretty safe space for anyone
I���ll start with a more personal introduction
Rachel
Hopeless romantic, happy ending enthusiast, designated karaoke harmonizer, made the deadline to be a â99 liner by 2 weeks âď¸đ
The initial Instigator between the two of us. My roommate introduced me to day6 May of 2019 and Megan (formerly annoying little sister who used to do anything to get me to notice her) was the only one who believed me (mean older sister) when I told my family this kband stuff was pretty good
Bands I listen to (and biases): N.Flying (Seunghyub), Day6 (Sungjin), The Rose (Dojoon), IZ (Hyunjun), CNBlue (Yonghwa), FTIsland (Hongki), Onewe (ot5), Lucy (ot4), Hifi Unicorn (Kiyoon), Xdinary Heroes (Gaon, Junhan)

(Plus Pentagon, Purple Kiss, Tempest, &Team, Enhypen)
(I also have a huge crush on D.O. and I love Younha)
Extra notes? I have a degree in secondary math education. I also have a decent amount of skill in the arts though like I sing and play a handful of instruments and youâll see me reblog stuff here from my art blog sometimes. I can read/write half decent Korean as well
Currently playing: Blue Moon by N.Flying, Eternal Sunshine by Ateez, Ah! Love by Seventeen, Better Better by Day6, and Nowhere by FTIsland
I now turn the time over to Megan
Megan
Hopeful romantic, sad ending enthusiast, designated karaoke melodizer (not a boring soprano tyvm), born smack dab in the middle of 2006 đ¤Šđ
The current Instigator between the two of us. I hesitantly took hold of the kband stuff and then it exponentially increased. My kpop Spotify playlist is 176 hours long (3127 songs). Please send help đ¨

What are your favorite tropes that remind you of each cix member? (If you could list a couple that would be great but not necessary)
Honestly don't even know if this counts! đ This is less like tropes and more like aesthetics, but also not really, so I don't really know how to categorize it. Either way! I hope you enjoyed it and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
.
.
.
Byounggon: Awkward but sweet first love, late night movie dates + cuddles, clumsy but heartfelt confessions, 'I love you' and a forehead kiss while they think you're asleep, pampering each other with massages and at-home spa days, shared playlists, trying new things together, window shopping together and secretly buying each other gifts, making the most mundane days special, 'I know we're young, but I picture forever with you'.
Seunghun: 'I love you' + 'I love you more', refusing to hang up first, saving each other as something cheesy/funny in your phones, inside jokes for days, brushing your teeth together in the morning and making funny faces in the mirror, 'I'll pay'/'No, really, I insist'/'I SAID, LET ME PAY, DAMMIT', all-encompassing hugs when you're sad, giggly eskimo kisses.
Yonghee: Falling in love at the wrong time, strangers-to-lovers, museum dates where 'you are the greatest work of art', cooking together but it's just customizing the toppings of your frozen pizza, knowing what the other is thinking just by looking at each other's eyes, getting exhausted at the same time and agreeing to leave the party together, chatting about dumb things until 3AM.
Jinyoung: Cute barista/florist, meeting your first love years later, a bittersweet summer love that you still think about to this day, you both like each other but are too shy to make the first move, 'may I have this dance?', mindlessly playing with someone's fingers, cheek kisses as both greetings and farewells, 'love ya' instead of 'thank you'.
Hyunsuk: Childhood best friends, falling asleep on each other's shoulders, late night fastfood runs, amusement park dates, shy but excited kisses while fireworks go off in the background, a specific person springing to mind when you see something that makes you happy, 'you make me smile'.

wow: this one is very fun and i really like its intensity! it's very like. solid. and i like the instrumentals and its overall bounce. very cool! it's like spray paint art.
0325: this one feels like. physically dark? i love the mood it evokes, it kind of feels like driving through the city at night, past storefronts and businesses all lit up, but the night is dark and crisp and the streetlights cut through the darkness in the inside of the car, and you're having fun, you're excited. idk if this makes sense at all, lmao
hoodie season: this one is like. a mint green. it's very cool and idk. bright-feeling? the trumpet and piano in the instrumental, along with the tambourine in the percussion really add to its clean feel. it's very pleasant <3
cinema: this one is very neat! it feels like neon lighting at night, it's very. it feels like something you would play for dancing at night. idk if that makes sense but it's very fun :)
LUNA: this one is like. purple. i love the little spikes in pitch in their voices at the beginning of each line in the chorus it's very satisfying. it's very good, i really really like this one. it's so good!!! totally my favourite one so far.

Who am I?
hey, Iâm Yoon/Orchid, this is a little blog Iâm starting so I can post the little slices of my brain that decide to make their way onto the page. hope you enjoy
â˘
Some fun facts about me:
Name: Yoon or Orchid. Both work. Neither of those is my real name. I have a very boring name and I like a touch of anonymity here on the internet. So Yoon or Orchid it is, purely cuz itâs in my handle.
Age: 25! (â99 liner)
Pronouns: she/her
Astro Signs: aries sun, scorpio moon, taurus rising -> Yes. I know.
MBTI Type: ENFJ-A.
Favourite Things: music, art, any animal that is cute and fuzzy, frogs, capybaras, flowers - specifically orchids, roses, cherry blossoms, dahlias and peonies, colours, chocolate, baking, tattoos, spring and fall, water, people doing beautiful and amazing things for the sake of wanting to.
Least Favourite Things: assholes, greed, most foods (not by choice), all soda pop, most mainstream music, most religions, and certain textures
Why did you start your blog?: I had a dream a while back that I woke up from, wrote down, and then went back to sleep. When I woke up again, I realized it could make for a killer fic and decided to write it out after I couldnât stop thinking about it for two weeks straight. I figured if Iâm gunna write it, might as well share it. Then boom: the birth of orchidyoonkook
Additionally: musicâs a massive part of my life, like enormously so. as is visual art, Iâve been a painter since I was 10 and can pretty much do anything in the field of visual art from painting to sculpting to woodwork. writing is new though, I didnât start until I was 19 and even then it hasnât been a constant. I just write when thereâs an idea. and itâs usually a massive undertaking. me and religion donât have a great relationship, that said, lots of my friends are religious and I respect that immensely
â˘
Bias: Yoongles, my love
Bias Wrecker: JK
What got me into BTS?: officially? carpool karaoke. Unofficially, DNA.
Other K-Pop Artists?: Yep! Agust D, Stray Kids and Ateez primarily. But I have bits and pieces of ENHYPEN, TXT, MAMAMOO, j-hope, black pink, Hwa Sa, aespa, CIX, GOT7, SVT, TAEMIN, LISA, Kai, KANGDANIEL, I.M, BewhY, HOSHI, VICTION, Red Velvet, IU, etc.

Hi, I am here for the exchange! Hope you are well !
Your question: Details about your future spouse.
From first I thought I sense this is someone with duality but also has a fun side to play with that duality. Like someone intimidating but also a sweetheart/charming person. They may realise they come across as intimidating and may use this to tease people and then suddenly laughing like haha i am kidding. They may be bald or has a round head and short hair, or they may be bald now. Medium height, good build, not too far nor skinny, tan body, toned body many be has abs. They give me fun energy like an extrovert and vibes of someone that people only think is confident and happy to go to person. Kind where people see and think "man i wish I had their confidence" but that's not just it. They are very real and also deals with self esteem issues deep down, maybe they had a low confidence phase and they channeled that into their physical personality and body. I sense their Insecurities are more about their knowledge or lack of it or just lacking in the skills department. They may or may not have faired well in school, maybe average and that could be something they feel down about especially with people that are more intellectual like that. They may compare themselves to the poised art-history know it all kind of people, and may feel down about it. This makes me think it's more about them being perfect at most things than be someone that is losing that race. This could be an issue that developed from childhood upbringing.
Signs- Leo/cancer/Sagittarius/4th house/4th house Saturn/libra venus/9th house/5th house energy/venus in quadrants.
My question: How will my Future Spouse behave with me?
M, đľď¸ pisces sun
hello! thank you so much for being willing to do an exchange! i really enjoyed reading through this, and i feel like i learned some new things about my fs which is cool! some things also aligned with things i've heard before, so that was comforting too! again, thank you so much đ
Shufflemancy:
"Baby" by Justin Bieber (feat. Ludacris)
"Cinema" by CIX
Cards: Seven of Cups, Ten of Wands, Queen of Cups, Three of Cups, Ace of Cups, The Moon (Rx), Three of Wands, Judgment, King of Wands, Temperance, Five of Pentacles (Rx)
Your future spouse will make you feel like you're in a whole different reality. Funnily enough "Cinema" played as I started the interpretation! They may act picture perfect with you to the point where you'll be wondering "is this real life"? They will look to you often in order to relieve stress and have fun. I get the feeling they'll want to be adventurous with you and do things you two wouldn't think of doing normally like traveling on a whim or something wild like skydiving. They will be nurturing towards you also, so it's like a give and take of you caring for them and them caring for you. You two may start off as friends and then it buds into a love. This makes me think you two will have a strong foundation where you almost inherently trust and listen to one another.Â
I feel like your future spouse will listen to you talk often - I'm literally getting the image of someone looking straight on at someone talking, nodding to show that they're an active listener. They don't like opening up about their emotions, but they'll show them in little actions. I feel they'll see you as a safe haven and someone they can learn from which is why they do more listening. There's hints of a student-teacher dynamic almost. Overall, they will be active and in charge of the action-side of your relationship: dates, traveling, day-to-day chores, and things of that nature; while you will be in charge of the emotional side: arguments, deep talks, words of affirmation, and all the likes. They like to show their love rather than speaking it, so be prepared for that!

2021 Retrospective Part 1: KPop
KPop was great in 2020, diverse and interesting. I hoped that energy would carry over into 2021, and some of it certainly did. Overall though, the year, while not lacking in good releases, felt much less creative than 2020 did. Where in 2020 most groups managed to release exactly one song I loved, this year it felt like everyone would either nail every single comeback or none at all, there was very little middle ground for me, and barely any random hits. (As usual, everything I talk about can be found in this YT playlist.)
Iâll start with a lightning round of everyone who got onto my radar last year, but who I donât have anything to say about this time: CIXâs âJungleâ was phenomenal, but, like I predicted, they never released anything even half as interesting since. APink had no presence this year, EVERGLOW and Mamamoo did okay but never well enough to land on my playlist, LOONAâs music was bewildering in a thoroughly uninteresting way, (G)I-DLE went up in flames, and ELâAST failed to impress me this year. Once again, I wasnât sold on most 4th gen groups, and I felt like 3rd gen groups, for the most part, didnât leave much of an impact either. So for the first segment, hereâre (some of) the big releases that felt underwhelming to me: BTS is still on top of the world, but all their English singles felt incredibly low effort, so if you arenât trying, neither will I. âButterâ has some of my favorite terrible lyrics of the year, and I think that I dreamt up âPermission to Danceâ, since I canât remember anything about it. Itâs probably the worst title track of 2021 to me because itâs so offensively bland. It feels like ages ago that I was invested in this group, and nowadays, itâs hard to remember why I liked them so much. I also retain the opinion that bighit, excuse me, HYBE has no idea what the appeal of Seventeen and NUâEST was. Iâve never been a fan of the former, but I appreciated their positive energy, which I found somewhat lacking since Pledis was bought out. NUâEST meanwhile was a group Iâve been rooting for, and HYBE not only failed to give them regular comebacks, but also erased everything I liked about them. âInside Outâ, while at least catchier than âIâm in Troubleâ, is just as generic. NUâEST is a group I was mostly interested in for their unique music, so no matter how well their new stuff is produced, I just donât care for it. Never mind that the music video is nauseating to look at. I appreciate that itâs cut on the beat (it canât be that hard YG) but the camera moves way too much, itâs extremely disorientating. EXO was back for a hot second, with Lay even, but I donât have much to say about âDonât fight the feelingâ either. Itâs fine, a weaker version of âLove Me Rightâ in my opinion, and itâs still somehow one of the best title tracks SM released this year. They seem to have embraced the art of the train wreck wholeheartedly, and while Iâm glad EXO didnât get pulled into that again, it sadly didnât leave much of an impact on me. Super Juniorâs comeback was underwhelming too. âHouse Partyâ is upbeat with a positive message, and the weird SM breakdown isnât as jarring as usual. Itâs not going to age well anyway because itâs a shut-down song and not very memorable to begin with. Iâve since been told that the album is decent, but I canât attest to that. And while Iâm complaining about SM, Red Velvetâs âQueendomâ was also one of the most forgettable major releases this year. SM in general tended to release either incomprehensible messes or the safest title tracks possible, and this was so firmly the latter, I literally canât remember a single thing about this song while Iâm listening to it. I honestly think I prefer their train wrecks over this, at least those are memorable. Then of course there were the BLACKPINK solos, two songs each for RosĂŠ and Lisa, which I have the exact same opinions on too. The title tracks, âOn The Groundâ and âLALISAâ respectively, are extremely safe. Both songs have a few ideas that could work, and a few that would never appeal to me, and both couldâve used a bit more polish. The also wildly popular B-sides meanwhile, âGoneâ and âMoneyâ, sound grating to me, and somehow even more generic than the title tracks. Finally, I wasnât sure where to put STAYC. It felt like everyone was talking about them, and their title tracks âASAPâ and âStereotypeâ got an overwhelmingly positive reception, but itâs hard for me to see where the hype comes from. They donât stand out from other 4th gen girl groups stylistically, nor do they have a big label behind them. And their songs, while competently produced, donât leave much of an impact on me either, so it felt like âpopular but underwhelmingâ would be their category too. But their songs are catchy, and they seem to have a decent vocal line, the lack of which is a recurring problem I have with 4th gen groups. In the end, while I donât quite understand how or why they got so popular, I donât mind that they did. It wasnât all underwhelming though. There are many groups, soloists, or even just popular songs whoâs hype I never quite get, but most of them at least made sense to me this year. So, consider this the âoh, I get the hype after allâ segment: âDrunk-Dazedâ by ENHYPEN will probably be on many peopleâs best-of-year list, and for good reason. Itâs the best song HYBE has released in a while, but itâs held back by the group it was handed to. ENHYPEN just doesnât convince me, they stand out in neither vocals nor rap in any way. The vocals sound heavily processed, which Iâm never a fan of, and I canât help but wish that this song wouldâve gone to ONEUS or ONF, to VIXX in an ideal world, anyone with a stronger vocal line really. Even with those gripes though, it is a very catchy release and deserved the attention it got. Their labelmates TXT, who I never got into either, did a lot to distinguish themselves this year. I liked â0X1=LOVESONG (I know I Love You)â, which is a terrible name for an oddly charming and catchy piece of music. And this time I donât think it shouldâve been given to anyone but them, they own every second of it. So much so, that I started to watch out for them afterwards, and Iâm glad that I did, because âLO$ER=LOâĄERâ is among the strongest title tracks of the year in my opinion. Itâs very catchy and feels like a true step forward. Like they were testing the waters with â0X1=LOVESONGâ, and now theyâre fully committing to a rougher, indie-pop-rock style, perfectly nailing it on their second attempt. As a title track itâs also a complete package, the MV is good as usual for this group, and so is the choreography, and both perfectly suit the song. Their B-side âFrostâ feels in many ways like this style taken to the extreme, a KPop song that has no interest in sounding pretty. Itâs not what youâd get from rock or metal vocals, but a Pop appropriation of it, and this group is the first that made it work for me. The personalities of the members also shine through on the entire album, which is the most bewildering thing about this group for me. Donât get me wrong, the type of music they made this year would fall apart entirely if that wasnât the case, but how come HYBE lets the TXT members sound natural while BTS and Enhypen get their songs drowned in autotune? Kang Daniel also finally made sense to me with âParanoiaâ, a fascinating song, memorable without being particularly catchy, lyrics that fit the theme perfectly, and an aesthetic that reminds me of Taemin, which is, oddly enough, something I havenât seen around much. I feel like his influence should be all over male soloists by now, but maybe that style is just difficult to emulate. I didnât like âAntidoteâ nearly as much though; the chorus just doesnât work for me. Sumni is the other soloist whoâs appeal I finally understood this year, but mostly the songs no one seems to like or talk about anymore. My newly found appreciation for her had little to do with her 2021 releases, and more with talking to a fan and discovering a few older songs I started to like. âTailâ was alright though, and âYou canât sit with usâ, while a bit of a mess, at least has the decency of being a fascinating and inoffensive mess. ATEEZ isnât for me, and Iâve accepted that fact last year. But they also make it easy to see their appeal. If this is the type of music youâre into, theyâre most likely the group for you. And theyâve gotten very close to releasing a song I like with âDeja Vuâ. But the real reason why theyâre here is the MV they released for âThe Realâ because itâs an extremely cool and impressive production, even without being able to fully figure out what is happening in it. In a similar way, The Boyz mightâve been impressive on Road To Kingdom, but their music never worked for me. âMaverickâ is the first song of theirs I enjoyed, itâs just plain cool. I canât imagine being interested in their future releases though, this feels like random hit to me. Astro meanwhile was for me, at least for a while. I liked their quirky and cute early work, and found myself to be entirely uninterested in the âmore matureâ releases theyâve done for the past few years, so Iâm glad to report that âAfter Midnightâ, while not as creative as living soda bottles, is still fun, and I sincerely hope that the success of this comeback proves to their label that thereâs still a market for cute and happy boy group releases.  Transitioning to the less talked about stuff, I was pleasantly surprised by Eunhyukâs solo, and I feel like I really shouldnât have been. Super Junior has been around in KPop for what feels like an eternity, it shouldnât be surprising that the members know exactly what theyâre doing. Still, âbeâ wasnât on my radar at all until I asked for recommendations of songs I might've missed this year, and Iâm honestly not surprised about it. I will come back to this more with a certain other group later, but this is exactly the type of release we need senior idols to stick around for. Itâs not exactly the chart-friendly bop that gets talked about, and even if a less experienced artist would be allowed to promote a track like this, I doubt it would be anywhere near as good. This song works because Eunhyuk is a really good singer and experienced performer who knows exactly how to deliver every single line to get the most out of this song. While weâre at SM solos, U-KNOWâs âThank Uâ not only comes equipped with some clever lyrics (that only get held back slightly by questionable English), but the music video is also a great homage to classic revenge films, Kill Bill most noticeably, and U-KNOW too delivers everything with experienced confidence. In the âdebuts I noticedâ corner we have JUST Bâs âDAMAGEâ, which proudly proclaims to have been produced by Bang Yongguk. Iâve never seen the producer advertised in the title of the MV like that, but it makes sense. This could be a B.A.P song, all things considered, even if itâs too edgy to convince me. I mostly wanted to bring it up because the concept of the music video is a very weird cross of EXOâs âLove Me Rightâ and Stray Kidsâ âDistrict 9â or BTSâ âNoâ. Thatâs right: dystopic football. Iâm so confused. Then we have MIRAEâs âKILLAâ, which I can best describe by being very of its time. Sci-fi and traditional concepts seemed to be all the rage this year, and this has both, if only a dash of the latter. The debut mainly stood out to me because they seem to have a decent vocal line, which isnât really what 4th gen boy groups are known for. Itâs also a solid song in general. Their follow up, âSplashâ, was decent too, but it remains to be seen if they can find a niche for themselves musically, because both songs lack a bit of a unique identity. Finally, thereâs is RBWâs new girl group PURPLE KISS, which is the first debut that ever convinced me of a group. I made an entire post about the MV for âPonzonaâ when it came out since it was heavily inspired by Dreamcatcher, and my opinion only improved since then: I like the song a lot and the members are very talented. It was an honest contender for best KPop song of the year to me, and I had no prior investment in the group whatsoever. Their vocal line has potential to become one of my new favorites. No Goeun and Swan are hella impressive, Dosie stands out as a strong performer already, and Chaein is adorable. I also appreciate that theyâre older than most girl groups at debut, maybe thatâs why it feels like they have much more experience than the rookies they are. And their discography is almost scarily good so far too. Their 2nd EP, âHide & Seekâ was just as impressive as their debut. âZombieâ is a great title track, much more fun and upbeat than âPonzonaâ, but somehow still very much what I expected and wanted out of this group, and the B-sides donât feel like filler. âCast Pearls before Swineâ is especially noteworthy, but both EPs arenât lacking in songs to pick a favorite from. Itâs almost too good to be true. Which is why it had to be made up for elsewhere with complete trash fire releases. And oh boy, there were so many train wrecks and bewildering songs, enough to justify having an entire âhall of shameâ segment for the year: OnlyOneOfâs âLibidoâ inspired me to write a ten-page essay on sexualization in KPop (which I never got around to edit), and it still makes me uncomfortable. This is here solely for the MV though, the song is fine, almost insultingly so, considering the provocative video. âAsurabalbaltaâ by T1419. Nothing to add, itâs just an ugly song all around. A special shout out to âMy Turnâ by CRAVITY for the most hilarious chorus of the year. Considering that the verses and MV are not framed as a parody, Iâm sadly forced to believe that someone wrote the lyrics âvroom vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom skrtâ and intended for the song to be cool. I also think I should give Aespaâs âSavageâ at least a mention, but itâs unremarkable in its awfulness after a year of much more bewildering releases by this label. Thereâre salvageable parts in this song, a recognizable structure, and an almost functional instrumental track, even some good vocals. Which are wasted on the lyrics and song, but at least thereâs something, which canât be said about SMâs unholy trinity: Aespaâs âNext Levelâ sounds like 5 songs stitched together without rhyme or reason, and none of them have much merit on their own to begin with. The lyrics are terribly cringey too, the slang SM made up for them doesnât help, and it canât get much better than âbeat dropâ, followed byâŚdistinctly not a beat drop. SM also SMed all over NCT Dreamâs âHot Sauceâ, which features a vocal sample that is trying very hard to be more annoying than the âI want youâ looped over EXOâs âObsessionâ. I honestly think that this song is worse than âNext Levelâ, at least that one was an interesting train wreck and somewhat catchy, this is just bewildering. And then SM managed to dig even deeper. NCT 127âs âStickerâ barely qualifies as a song. It has no instrumental track, just a few mismatched and very annoying samples looped over 4 minutes. No structure to speak of, nor does it build towards anything. It has no melody, and the vocals have negative flow. Thereâs just nothing good to say about this. Itâs not trying anything creative, itâs not catchy, itâs not relaxing, itâs not fun, itâs not cool, itâs just a mess I canât believe was published by a major label. Finally, letâs look at the artists I had expectations for and see if they managed to live up to those: ONEUS has been on my radar since debut, but it wasnât until last year that I started to have expectations for them. Which they promptly disappointed by doing the opposite of what I wanted. I have no idea who thought that âNo Diggityâ was a good move for them, but it did nothing for me. They pull off the weird mixture of Block B and 4th gen noise music, but I much prefer their prettier songs, and it felt like a good vocal performance wasted on a song that canât profit from one. âBlack Mirrorâ was a bit more in line with that, but it worked even less for me somehow. At this point I was ready to accept that they might not be a group for me after all, but âLunaâ was a timely reminder of why I was paying attention to them in the first place. Theyâre really good at this type of song, and while I would generally agree with the praise they got for this, I was getting seriously annoyed by their fandom at this point. Theyâre not âconcept kingsâ, please stop calling them that. This isnât a nickname you can just claim for yourself, itâs VIXXâs. Youâll find VIXX by looking up that title, just like youâll find SHINee when you search for âthe princes of KPopâ. Itâs what not just their fans but also the media calls them, and itâs a title they earned with their unmatched dedication to concepts. Please respect that. Heck, âLunaâ even takes inspiration from VIXXâs âShangri-laâ and especially the MBC Gayo performance of it, to the point of homage in some moments, and thatâs not a bad thing, we just want it to be acknowledged. TWICE being in this category is something I never expected, yet here we are. Their summer comeback wasnât exactly the catchy hit I expected though, âAlcohol-Freeâ is much more subdued than their usual output. Itâs not bad, I just never feel the need to listen to it. âScientistâ too, apart from me constantly stumbling over the name because VIXXâs âScentistâ ruined that word forever, didnât leave much of an impression. The lyrics are also a bit awkward, which hasnât been a problem for them in a while. But to make their inclusion on my âgood listâ even weirder, what saved them from the âunderwhelming but popularâ category was an English single. âThe Feelsâ is the first English release that doesnât feel like the group watered down their identity to appeal to a western market. This is very much a TWICE song, and proud of it. The lyrics are perfectly fine, and the production gets the most out of every member. I wasnât able to get behind their popularity in their early days, but there is something fascinating about senior group TWICE, and I hope they renew their contracts next year.  Their labelmates Stray Kids didnât quite manage to live up to their 2020 output either, but thatâs understandable considering âInLifeâ was stupidly good, and theyâve been MIA until August, with the exception of âUp All Nightâ, which was a fun unit song that feels very relatable. Their first official comeback âThunderousâ meanwhile is exactly what I wanted, at least on paper. Gloriously overproduced KPop, and a music video that is overflowing with creative effects and editing. Highlights include a transition from animation to Changbinâs face and Felix turning into a sketch of himself, in a magazine that Hyunjin is just putting down. The color-grading is great too, itâs a dark MV but every color pops. Itâs just that Iâm not too big on the song this time. Itâs okay, but Iâd rather listen to âGodâs Menuâ again. They released a few more MVs for other songs on the album, out of which âRed Lightsâ received the most attention. Unsurprisingly, considering itâs essentially VIXXâs âChained Upâ turned homoerotic. I canât say that I understood the freak-out over it, but I do like the song. I also found âCheeseâ to be worth revisiting once in a while, even though the song is headache inducing. They also released hands down the best Christmas MV this year with âChristmas EveLâ. The group likes to add a lovely parody angle to the overproduced KPop scene theyâre very much a part of, and itâs the most obvious in this release. The lyrics are on point and the jokes consistently land. In general, I get the impression that enjoying Stray Kidsâ content is often dependent on if you share their sense of humor. Dreamcatcher did just well enough not to disappoint as well. Itâs good to see the full team together again, especially since theyâre the only group I care about with a complete line-up. âOdd Eyeâ was pretty cool, but I liked the B-side âPoison Loveâ more, and I donât listen to it often. What I did listen to though is their 2nd comeback âBEcauseâ. Right of the bat, this is the more interesting song to me. I loved the understated chorus from the second I heard it, and this song feels like they addressed all the problems I had with âPiriâ. The breakdown doesnât clash with the light vocals, it just fits here. The transitions are on point, their vocal line is still one of my favorites in KPop (Yoohyeon and Siyeon are just unfair), and I find myself increasingly impressed with Gahyeon. The entire group has a strong stage presence but watching her starting to claim more center time and chorus lines, all while completely owning her space on stage, is like watching VIXXâs Hyuk grow up all over again. âYour face turns blue, itâs like an ocean viewâ is also in contest for one of my favorite lines to come out of KPop this year. Itâs just delightfully creepy. âDelightfulâ is also what Iâd call ONF in general. They feel like a breath of fresh air, and itâs hard to pinpoint why. Almost every KPop group releases a fun song at some point in their career, but Iâve never seen it fit a group as naturally as it does ONF. Their music is also distinctly quirky, oozing with creative energy.  âBeautiful Beautifulâ, while not quite as interesting to me as âSukhumvit Swimmingâ, is just as much fun and always puts a smile on my face. Itâs catchy and happy without ever being annoying for it, which makes it almost impossible to not get caught up in its energy. And itâs also a song I canât imagine being released by anyone but ONF. This group is a true gem, and this is one of their best songs to date. âUgly Danceâ is more aligned with the current trends but retains just enough of the fun vibes and quirky energy I like about this group to work. I prefer their other stuff, but they seem to enjoy performing this song a lot, which is one of their biggest strengths as a group in general. Their music and MVs are quirky and weird, always energetic, and it works because the members always seem have the time of their lives with it. Which is why I was looking forward to a summer comeback, and âPoppingâ did not disappoint. I have no idea what this song is going for, and the MV is all over the place, but it works. Just donât try to dissect why it does because it honestly makes no sense. Finally, after dropping quite surprising enlistment news on us, they made one last comeback in December with âGoosebumpsâ, which is much darker than their other releases this year. That doesnât mean that itâs lacking in creative energy though, not in the slightest. The song changes the top line for each chorus, and it hardly even registers because somehow itâs still incredibly catchy. Iâm sad to see them enlist, but itâs nice to know that weâll get them back in less than two years. They had a great run, and I sincerely hope that they can continue where they left off in 2023. WOODZ is another artist I discovered last year, but despite him almost making my top 5 songs with âLove Me Harderâ I still underestimated him. I wasnât sold on his merit as a vocalist, being much more interested in him as a songwriter. Itâs not that heâs a bad singer, quite the contrary, I just donât particularly like the tone of his voice. Which might sound absurd, because I very much enjoy his music and have been impressed by his performances repeatedly. His first single of the year, âFEEL LIKEâ, is simple and groovy and scores with another great instrumental track, which just barely put him into the âdid not disappointâ-camp, since I didnât listen to this song much despite its qualities. But I immediately fell in love with the title track of his EP released in October. âWaitingâ stands out to me as a perfect production, and Iâm going to make this paragraph even weirder now, because I love the vocals on the track. This song is just perfect for his voice, and itâs a great performance all around. If WOODZ wins me over with his songs, then Taemin is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Most of what I love about his solos is purely on his insane skills as a performer, and I complained a lot about Taemin being better than the songs heâs been given over the years. Which sadly is the case for âAdviceâ as well. I donât hate the song, but Taeminâs performance is the only thing I actively like about it. It just isnât an interesting release and the entire EP felt extremely save to me. Which is a shame for his last release before enlistment, especially coming off the âNever Gonna Dance Againâ albums where heâd been given more room to experiment. Minho meanwhile deserves a proper solo debut, and not just because SHINee needs to complete the plagiarism joke. âHeartbreakâ was a pleasant surprise at the end of the year. It might be nothing revolutionary, but just the right type of pleasant and relaxing to feel worthwhile nonetheless. Or maybe it just felt like SHINee was competing among themselves on what my favorite song of the year would be at least since June, and I had given up on fighting it at this point. So. SHINee. Iâve rewritten this part more times than I can count, and I doubt Iâll ever be happy with it. But I canât continue to be flippant about them anymore, and thereâs just too much to untangle with this group to keep it short. I spent 3 years pretending that I had no interest in them beyond some of their music, that they werenât the group I turned to if I wanted a dose of happiness, that I didnât love their shows and interviews for being endlessly entertaining, and that I didnât avoid them because acknowledging that they were important to me hurt. I ignored their shows, the albums beyond the title tracks, and didnât even listen to Keyâs and Onewâs solos. But this year, keeping a distance just wasnât possible anymore. Itâs been a long time since I felt like a group was as on top of their game as SHINee was in 2021. They came back from the military with the same experienced confidence and disregard for rules and expectations Iâve been missing since they and VIXX went on hiatus in 2018, and everything they did this year felt like a triumph. It took months to figure out how I feel about âDonât Call Meâ though. Itâs very 4th gen, and I liked that SHINee always stuck to a bit of 2nd gen whimsy before. Onew is entirely too nice for the song too and is given hardly anything to work with. But then again, they pull it off. Itâs more of a grower than their usual title tracks, but itâs a rock-solid production. It was also nice to hear a SHINee title track that felt built around Key for once. Maybe their 2021 releases felt as triumphant to me as they did because being Key biased this year was a constant invitation to scream âtold you soâ at everyone who ever doubted his abilities. Still, this song ultimately isnât what I want from SHINee. Lucky for me then that their 2nd title track âAtlantisâ is exactly the type of classic, upbeat, vocal driven pop song they excel at. When they talked about songs that got taken off the âDonât Call Meâ album, âAtlantisâ comes up in a moment of miscommunication, and they immediately insist that this song is theirs, that itâs a song that only they can do, so thereâs no way SM would hand it to anyone else, and Iâm inclined to agree. Itâs a SHINee song to its core. The album is good too. I have issues with it, like how âHeart Attackâ and âI Really Want Youâ are essentially the same song, even though I like both. Some tracks feel a bit like filler too, and I donât like âDays and Yearsâ at all. Overall, Iâd love to cut out a quarter of the songs, but then SM wouldnât be able to do their full-album-into-repackage spiel anymore. A more experimental and darker B-side wouldâve been nice to have too, something like âNightmareâ or âTriggerâ, because I always loved those and âDonât Call Meâ doesnât fit the tone of the album at all, even after the repackage fixes the terrible sequencing. At least they kept up with the SHINee tradition of having one song entirely focused on chill-inducingly perfect vocals on each album. âAreaâ immediately became a contender for song of the year for me. Iâm in love with their voices in general, but Onew on this song in particular gives me chills. I also love the eerie quality of this song, and even without knowing for sure if that was Minhoâs intention when writing the lyrics or not, itâs hard to shake off the impression that this song is addressed to Jonghyun. Whether intentional of not, âI canât fill your empty spotâ is the most cutting line I heard in KPop in a while. And in a complete 180 mood-wise, the final group release before we lost them to the military again is classic SHINee-style JPop, the kind of song I like a lot but canât actually defend when asked about it. âSUPERSTARâ is nothing unique or fancy, but SHINee carries the song on pure charisma, and it never failed to put a smile on my face. I think you can tell from the length of this paragraph that I was fully prepared to hand song, album, and artist of the year to SHINee, and it really wasnât even closeâŚbut then they got competition from inside their own ranks. There arenât many productions in KPop as interesting and perfectly executed as Keyâs âBad Loveâ EP. This was the first time in ages that I wanted an album before knowing anything about the music, simply because the packaging is so damn awesome. The level of creativity and attention to detail that went into the presentation of this comeback is something Iâm used to by VIXX and them only. And itâs not like any of that was necessary to sell me on the album, because the songs are genuinely amazing. The title track has more harmonies, concurring melodies, high-notes, and adlips than most group releases do, and it never sounds messy for it. âBad Loveâ is an extremely clean and impressive production, and Iâve been obsessed with it since it came out. Thereâs not a single song on the EP I didnât like either and none of them sound like filler. Iâm in love with how much energy he put into âYellow Tapeâ, how amazing his harmony with Taeyeon sounds in âHate ThatâŚâ, his voice in âHeliumâ period but especially during the bridge, the entire mood of âSaturday Nightâ, and the âend of my worldâ line in âEighteenâ. And thatâs another thing, this EP is filled with good songs, but itâs Key who sells them. I always liked his voice, and Iâve seen enough vocal coaches gush over SHINee to know heâs a technically clean singer, but nothing prepared me for just how great he sounds when heâs given songs that are tailored to his weird tone, and when heâs allowed to make his own choices. The entire album has âKeyâ written all over it, and never to its detriment. I just canât imagine this EP in the hands of anyone else, and it has quickly become my favorite solo release in KPop period. Iâm so glad it paid of commercially, and I sincerely hope that SM finally realizes that SHINee does best when theyâre allowed to make their own decisions. Because if this is what Keyâs preferences look and sound like, then I absolutely want more of it in the future. Â

ę° ęą this is an idol life ship for my sweetest and softest bb @sarahbkwlââ !! hope you like it hehe !! <33Â
----------------------------
ę° ęą your entertainment company
ę° ęą your training years
you trained for a year before debuting.Â
you auditioned for the company through yg global auditions and got accepted because they saw immense potential in you and your talents.Â
you were pretty shy as a trainee but goddamn, with just one year of training and consistent hard-work, you glowed the hell up as a performer and artist. [kind of the same scenario as bae jinyoung (my bb <33) of cix and wanna one]
before debuting, you appeared in some of winner and ikonâs music videos, which is where fans began noticing you.Â
ę° ęą number of members in your group
there are five members in your group; two koreans, one korean-american, one japanese, and you.Â
two koreans :: one is the oldest, sub vocalist, sub rapper, and the visual while the other is the main rapper and face of the groupÂ
one korean-american :: main vocalist and the leader
one japanese :: lead dancer, lead rapper, and maknae
ę° ęą your positions
youâre the main dancer, lead vocalist, center, and face of the groupÂ
ę° ęą your roles
youâre the fake maknae of the group; you may look and dress in a way that is a bit intimidating, and your charisma be through the roof on stage; but off the stage, you basically radiate babie energy and your group members as well as your fans feel protective over you because of your sensitive and clumsy nature.Â
also the photographer; youâre known for your photography skills and you have over ten million followers on your instagram where you often post very artistic and aesthetic pictures of yourself, sceneries/places, your group members, and anything else that inspires you really. Â
ę° ęą your groupâs conceptÂ
a mix of badass and girl crush with a hint of sexiness. very similar to ddd by exid. Â
ę° ęą your idol best-friends
felix from stray kids || as foreign idols, itâs no doubt you guys hit it off immediately as soon as you guys met and got closer at MAMA. you may be shy at first but with him, it was like an immediate sort of connection.Â
youâre definitely hype bestfriends !! constantly complimenting, supporting, and basically just hyping each other up.Â
vedi affectionate best-friend. sends you memes at 2 a.m.Â
oh and you both mc -ed for pops in seoul together and your close friendship is evident on camera; itâs just a very wholesome energy. needless to say, your friendship is one of favorites in the kpop industry.
seulgi from red velvet || you two would be the sweetest angels adskjÂ
you guys did a dance cover as a collaboration stage and have been inseparable since then. youâre often on each otherâs instagram and openly shows support for each otherâs comebacks and professional projects.Â
sheâs the type of best friend you can talk about anything and you would just laugh about everything. expect lots and lots rofl and majority of the time, you wont even know what youâre laughing about.Â
lots of cute dates at cozy and underrated cafes or restaurants in town, which are perfect places for your photography and perfect for her to try new food, especially desserts.Â
also sheâs really good at art, especially drawing !! youâre both just so artistically talented and similar yet different in the best way - no wonder fate brought you two together as best-friends.Â
ę° ęą your fanboy(s)Â
the members of verivery are huge fans of your group and have done a number of covers of your groupâs songs.Â
kangmin especially is a huge fan of you.Â
ę° ęą your boyfriend (public)
chittaphon leechaiyapornkul (can you tell i copy pasted that) aka ten.Â
i mean we ainât surprised at this point. itâs an established fact that you + ten = purfect.Â
okay, so i see you guys being only professionally involved at first like your group and a few members of nct were doing this collaboration stage for an award show and itâs a sort of like group couple dance stage and you and ten were paired together. think of the whoâs your mama dance stage at 2016 sbs gayo daejeon. similar to that aaaaÂ
but through the whole process of rehearsing and practicing together, you guys ended up becoming closer because i think your personalities would just click just like that. i think ten is someone who can just connect with anyone but with you, it would just be a different and special sort of connection.Â
honestly, i think your relationship would be a mix of slow-burn and fast-paced. it would take him a while to ask you out or to confess verbally but his actions would show otherwise like he would do all those cute things like text you good morning or good night and face-time you regularly. he would buy you gifts. he would smile and laugh a lot more around you.Â
i donât know why i also see him following you on his finsta accounts (that you already know about) and would probably comment cheesy pick-up lines on your posts.
when he does decide to confess, heâll be so straightforward about it but not in a way thatâs overbearing - just very sincere yâknow.Â
you guys would probably keep your relationship private at first although he wouldnât be the biggest fan of that but that really wouldnât last that long.Â
the dispatch catches you on a date and pictures of you two are released and both of your companies would confirm the relationship.Â
and itâs a praised relationship and fans are supportive - of course there are inevitably and unfairly some negative response but overall, thereâs an immense amount of positive reactions from fans that the negative ones are overlooked.Â
you guys would be the epitome of a romantic couple and so artistic too augh !!Â
oh and guess what, tenâs new best-friends are felix and seulgi now. eeepÂ
ę° ęą miscellaneousÂ
your group gets your first win just a week after debuting, making you guys one of the fastest to win at a music showÂ
even as an idol, you pursue art and photography as more than just a hobby. you make your debut as an artist two years after your debut and some of your pieces are displayed at art galleries.Â
your group is extremely popular and active in the US and you have collaborated with some western artists like Lauv, Little Mix, and Anne Marie.Â

Do you have any idols you love to draw? Also what programs do you use and do you have any tips? (Novice artist here.) I want to buy a new drawing tab for my art (I have a Wacom rn.) and I need suggestions. Sorry this isn't a request! You can ignore if this is burdensome.
lot to unpack here haha.... đ
đ
1) my fave male idols to draw are BTS V and RM, Day6 Dowoon and CIX BX. fave female idols to draw are Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung from Twice, and Wheein from MMM.
2) i use Procreate for my iPad 6th gen (tho the iPad pro is better eversoslightly) with the 1st gen Apple pen. honestly I prefer the older iPad model compared to the new. the only edge the pro has is the resolutions are better for Procreate and the other art apps, but my iPad was about 400$ less than the pro and works wonders despite being considered a bit outdated. honestly can't tell the diff between the Apple pens tho. maybe battery time? đ
3) if your looking for anatomy tips i suggest reading up a bit on it. study values. idk i'm not too big on art tips (my sketches tend to be sloppy till i feel like it looks good.) feel free to dm me if you're comfortable and i can try to explain it a bit more...
anyways good luck hope this helped!

Jyp really is a coward for not letting us know their real height :(( but yes!! I had a fairly good day today so thank you hehe ^^ I have 3 questions for you: What's your go-to bubble tea order, do the times at the beginning of each piece of writing mean anything? And the most important: what roles would you assign skz to in the student council?? Literally just came back from your last blurb again and it's still a piece of art your powerful mind hnng - đ hope your night goes great đđ
HHHH IM SO SORRY FOR THIS LATE REPLY i was so busy today and yesterday with life and streaming cix & itzy anyway i'm the proudest of my threesome blurbs thank youuu âĄâĄ okay to answer your questions
I'm boring and basic so I just go with the chatime pearl milk tea every time (in Germany I get anything with lychee boba since there isn't a chain bubble tea store â at least not where I live)
Uh the timestamps don't really have a significant meaning they just indicate at what time I imagine the scenario to happen (with the exception of 7:14 pm it's my bday i'm so cheesy I know)
Okay to be honest... I don't really know how the school council works?? Because in my school system that doesn't really exist so really I was more thinking of ouran high school host club when writing the blurb LMAO
